Who Will Take an Oscar statue Home?

Hello BW Readers,

Sorry I've not posted anything in two weeks. I was in Ft Lauderdale helping Mr. Benny find a place to live. He's moving around the 17th of April and has a place to live in Plantation, FL, about a little over 5 miles to work.

Back to the topic. There are 10 films nominated, but still only 5 for individual awards. The nominees are as follows:

Avatar
The Blind Side
District 9
An Education
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
Precious
A Serious Man
Up
Up in the Air

I don't understand the thinking of the Academy members in nominating the following two on this list: An Education and Up. And epic films such as Invictus and The Last Station left off the list?

I'm watching the last Barbara Walters Oscar special as I type. I realized while watching the guests over the years that I was a regular viewer to her show.

Best of luck, nominees!
